Apart from the movie references (even Stranger Things gets a nod) and the Easter Eggs, Deadpool 2 also tries to address the prevalent issues of racism and gender-disparity (so many jokes just on the name "X-Men") in its own inimitable humour. You're one of my best friends - Blake, the fam, the whole thing. The crassness goes right to the edge of being completely objectionable.

Facing off in the Playground Rules game on the Scott Mills Show on BBC Radio 1, Reynolds and Brolin went head-to-head trading insults with each other. A grieving WadeWilson strives to become surrogate father to a combustible young mutant (Julian Dennison), pursued by a time-travelling killer cyborg named Cable (Josh Brolin).

Deadpool 2 is now screening.

Enter the villain Cable (a ripped Josh Brolin) who breaks into the prison using a range of futuristic weapons and is intent on killing the teenager, no matter the cost.

For the uninitiated, WadeWilson is a skilled assassin who, after a series of experiments, obtained advanced strength and healing power that more or less makes him unable to die. David Letich (John Wick) directs, and the movie hits theaters this week on May 18, 2018. You get it, Stephen? Our attention may be on Deadpool and his shenanigans most of the time, but Domino does occasionally steal the spotlight from him, especially during an exciting and fast-moving truck chase.

While Reynolds said it was "good advice", he warned the actor on Good Morning America that he's not willing to quit just yet. That gives Deadpool 2 a chance to pass the $132.4 million opening of the 2016 original to claim the record for highest-grossing US debut for an R-rated film. If you are offended by jokes that are aimed at race, politics, sex, religion or Canada, you should look to one of the other comic book movies instead.

Deadpool 2 may overdo the cutesiness at times, but it never strains under the weight of a corporation's decade-long plan.

For the first film, I worked for about three weeks.

And it is very brief. When a super soldier arrives on a murderous mission, Deadpool is forced to think about friendship, family and what it really means to be a hero - all while kicking 50 shades of ass. That's because the team - with Reynolds at the forefront - doesn't hold back a single gunshot or rimshot.
